The Game Law.

At the request of various parties the
following from the Law" for the protec.
ton of fish and game" as amended by
the last legislature is given:
"No person can take, kill, injure O,
destroy, or have in possession, sell O,
offer for sale between the first day ol
April and the LIST day of September OF
each year, any wild swan, mallard

ball, spoon bill, gray, black spring
tail or canvass back duck.
"Nor shall any person between the
first day of February and the first day
of September of each year for any pur.
pose take, kill, injure or destroy, OF
have in possession, sell or offer fol
sale any prairie chicken, sage hen,
grouse, pheasant, quail or partridge.
at is illegal to hunt, pursue, take
kill or destroy any elk, moose, ol
mountain sheep between the first day
OF January and the 18th day of Angus,
of each year; and it is illegal at any
time to kill these animals for the pur-
pose of obtaining the hide, hams ol

girl money in hand-no trust. Thi.
money is invested and returns to the
woman if she is divorced, or on death
OF her husband.
The Jews retain their ancient belief

The Messiah was lowly.. He taught
humility. His mission was to save.
Were he to appear on earth to-day, SO
dissimilar are the doctrines taught,
| he would be incarcerated in an asylum
for the insane.
Wad-elWard expressed it as his
opinion, after enjoying unusual means
of obtaining thorough information,
that there is no such beverage as un-
fermented wine. All wine must un-
dergo fermentation to become any
thing more than sweetened water.
The wine made at the marriage feast
by the Savior was fermented wine. or
there would have been no miracle in its
production. Anybody can make lem
olade. Wine increases its alcoholic
principle every year by additional fer
mentation, hence old wine is stronger
than new, but not different in any
other essential particular.
Divorces are granted without the aid
of judge. If you are tired of your
wife, and she has been true to you and
there should be children, boys and
girls, the mother takes the BOYS and
the father the girls, and the husband
gives his wife a written bill of divorce.
She is made welcome under her faith
er's roof; but should she return with
out this written document the father
at once seeks the husband to know the
cause, and after the husband satisfies
his father-in-law that she is untrue the
father sends for all her male relatives
and the husband must then satisfy
them, and if they are SO satisfied the
woman is then wound in sheet, ta-
ken out the city and stoned to death.
The same punishment is inflicted up
on man who has been untrue to his
wife. One can remarry within ten
minutes after being divorced, provided
a written divorce has been granted.
Wad-el-Ward first mistook the re-
porter in the Grant party, of which he
was the guide, for the General, as he
was much the best dressed and most
MISUNDERSTANDING man of the
party. Grant did not take kindly to
the excessive demonstrations made in
honor of his arrival at Jerusalem. He
insisted upon riding his hired horse
instead Of the coal-black Arabian steed
provided for him by the authorities,
and when he was made the central
figure of a procession to march through
the principal streets he gave orders to
return to his hotel before it had
reached the place for the eliminating
ceremonies. The next day the Gen.
eral observed from his window many
men engaged in the construction of
arches on the principal streets, and
inquired of the guide whether they
were not intended for the embellish-
ments of fair. "Oh, no." was the
reply, they are doing this in honor
OF your visit" Gen. Grant immedi-
ately sent word to the authorities that
work should cease, or he would leave
the city, as he did not want to be the
object of lavish expenditure of money
drained from the pockets of the poorer
classes.

OOOx2O,OOO miles, equal to an area of
600, ,OOO,O 600 miles, and would cngulf
ten worlds the size of our earth with

our volcanic eruptions sink into in

Garfield, w. T., paper: A young
man of reliability informs us that
while herding horses near Endicott,
he threw a rock at large rattlesnake,
which only wedged the snake between

pulled the rattles off and removed the
rock and the snake was as vigorous

the snake would make its tail tremble
the rattles which the young man held
in his hand would quiver and rattle
just the same as if they had never
been removed.
The census returns of Whitman
county shows the following figures:
Total number of residents of the
county, 1851; males, ,4S9; females,
5,6S2; Chinese, So; Pennington shows
a population of 400; Palouse City,
54; Pullman, 224; Endicott, s5.
The census of other towns of the coun-
ty, with the exception of Colfax, was
not kept separate from the adjoining
country and an accurate mention can
not be given. The population of Col
fax, in exact figures, is 1920 divided
as follows: $50 males and 66O ie-
males. The gain in the population of
the county since the last census, two
years ago, is about 5000.
VIM. T. Coleman & Co., of San
Francisco, propose in the operation cf
their cannery at Tacoma, to introduce
Chinese labor, and this reopens the
question that it was thought had been
so happily settled, so far as that city is
concerned. The Mayor has been no.
tilted by letter that he will be called
upon for protection. He laid the let
ter before the City Council, and the
expression was unanimous that the
movement was an unwise one, popu-
lar sentiment having in no degree
changed since the action which re.
suited in the Chinese exodus nearly
two years ago. The Mayor intimated
that he would resign rather than 10
sanction a violation of the law, so the
letter was, by vote, laid upon the table.
A prisoner confined in the peniten-
tiary, says the Walla Walla Union,
named A. Williams, has had strange
career. Thirty-nine years of age, he
has served twenty-four years of that
time in various reformatory institu-
tions-seventeen years of the time be-
ing spent in the Oregon State prison
at Salem. A man of great natural
abilities, the temptations to commit
crime when free are too strong, and
his lease of liberty is always short.
Several years since, while confined in
the Oregon pen, and having but three
days to serve, the State fair being held,
he escaped, stole suit of clothes, a
horse and other valuables, and skipped
out, but was recaptured in few hours
and received an additional sentence of
five wears.
